Broadcast Guidelines

I never spotted this bit before (in old guidelines):

If the show was recorded in front of a live studio audience, add “Live”.

Surprised by that as all old BBC comedy shows are in front of a live audience. That kinda the point of an audience, they tend to be living and breathing much of the time.

This bit needs expanding:

  • Only include series and/or show numbers if each individual show has these. You can generally find them on the distributor’s website.

Fan sites always have far more information on them. Distributors are just trying to sell old recordings. It is the fansites that really are the gold mine of information and usually much more trusted and checked.

Also in your draft “Grouped Release Guidelines” is borked. Links don’t link.
